It is sad that the Devils won cups.... and can't throw a parade...a shame actually. Even Tampa had one lol. I just think its funny they built a new arena with their attendence in the bottom half of the league...still can't figure that one out. I've been to many games up there and the attendence was like 14,500 and there was more Flyers fans then Devils ones *shrug*. And as for people in NJ liking the Devils lol....I'd bet theres more Flyers and Rangers fans in this state than Devils fans.

And teams being envious of the devils? Their cap situation is a mess, they can't even afford to trade for a bag of pucks and a used synergy. Yea Lou knows what hes doing method wise, but cap wise their in some serious trouble. Boring hockey wins though, them the Bruins and the Wild are perfect examples of kill yourself hockey. Throw some nobodies out there to choke the neutral zone with a semi decent goalie and waa laaa winner winner.

Heres their average attendence over the last 5 years.

2003- 23rd out of 30: 14,858
2004- 24th out of 30: 14,912
2005- no season
2006- 26th out of 30: 14,230
2007- 26th out of 30: 14,176
2008- 22nd out of 30: 15,440

like i said, they have fans? ( http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/attendance?year=2008 )
